Best Disney Peanut Butter Treats

Welcome to the Disney Food Blog. If you enjoy this post, you should check out the tour of the site to see all the great Disney Food information we have.

Um…is it seriously possible that I haven’t already written this post?!?

You guys know how much I lurve peanut butter and anything peanut buttery, so I’m pretty surprised I haven’t done this article yet for you. BUT, it’s time to correct that error!!

As you can imagine, this is such an epic post that it will encompass my favorite peanut butter treats in both Disney World and Disneyland. If you’ve ever needed a reason to visit one or the other of the coasts, but haven’t been able to come up with one…well, you’re welcome.

The pie has everything. Check out the combo of sweet-salty all smooshed together into a soft and crunchy texture.

Even though it’s brand new, it’s already a classic in my book.

Peanut Butter, Banana, and Candied Bacon Pie at BoardWalk Bakery

If you haven’t made a visit to the new BoardWalk Bakery, drop what you’re doing and go. Now. (And bring me one of these.)

Oh, and I have to show you the inside…

That filling is like nothing you’ve ever had before… . Sigh.

Peanut Butter Brownie Creme Sandwich at Earl of Sandwich

I’ve gotta admit…this is one of my favorite sandwiches at the Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney.

While the regular sammys are great here (my favorite is the Italian Sandwich), their Brownie Frosting Sandwiches (or brownie creme sandwiches as they call them) are totally where it’s at. These come in vanilla and chocolate as well as the decadent Peanut Butter Brownie Sandwich.

Nice and dense, it’s the perfect consistency to stand up to the brownie. This one is a must-try.

Peanut Butter Sandwich

Ah, such an unassuming name for such a knock-em-dead treat. The Disneyland Peanut Butter Sandwich may be the perfect peanut butter and chocolate snack.

Made with just three ingredients — peanut butter filling, a graham cracker, and milk chocolate — it sounds so crazy simple. And yet, I cannot resist getting one of these every time I’m at Pooh Corner in Disneyland’s Critter Country. (You can also find ‘em at Candy Palace, Trolley Treats, and more spots in Disneyland and DCA!)

Peanut Butter Sandwich in Disneyland

I think it’s that full half inch of peanut butter that makes the difference. Clearly, this is fortified with enough sugar to keep its shape when you bite through the chocolate coating.

No Way Jose

This ginormous sundae of awesomeness combines scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream and big ol’ helpings of both hot fudge and peanut butter sauce (cough…always order extra peanut butter…cough). It’s finished with a huge crown of whipped cream, and topped with peanut butter and chocolate chips and a cherry.

Seriously, don’t you want to just dive in?!?

No Way Jose at Beaches and Cream

If you don’t want to share, that’s fine. Just plan on having this one for lunch instead. Or, you can be like me and just eat all of the peanut butter out of it.

Peanut Butter Heaven

The first time I saw this candy at Disneyland, I was dubious. Peanut Butter Heaven, oh yeah? I’ll be the judge of that.

But you know what? It IS heaven. I’m going to share a full review of this with you very soon, but I couldn’t deny it a place in this list first!

Peanut Butter Heaven in Disneyland

This candy, which can best be described as an enormous chocolate and peanut butter and peanuts and caramel bonbon, holds a wonderful little secret: it’s actually built on a base of a peanut turtle! When you bite into it, you not only taste the awesome chocolate and peanut butter combo. You also get whole peanuts and buttery caramel! Heaven. (Get it?)

Ghirardelli’s Gold Rush Sundae

UPDATE: Please note that the Gold Rush Sundae is no longer being served at Ghirardelli’s as of March 2015.

Layers of vanilla ice cream alternate with hot fudge and melted peanut butter — and by now you know that melted peanut butter is pretty much a food group for me.

Gold Rush Peanut Butter Sundae at Ghirardelli.

It’s very similar to the No Way Jose mentioned above, but it has that bonus Ghirardelli chocolate square as garnish. I love when my dessert is topped with more dessert.

Monkey Cupcake

Time to monkey around at the Caribbean Beach Resort with another fun combo — peanut butter and bananas! This combo comes together in the Monkey Cupcake!

The peanut butter here comes in at the top — in the frosting, that is. Fluffy frosting crowns the vanilla cake, which hides a sweet surprise: banana cream filling in the middle. (There is actually a chocolate cake version as well, if you just can’t fathom eating your peanut butter without a little chocolate thrown in.)

Peanut Butter Fudge

No list of Disney treats would be complete without at least one entry of fudge, wouldn’t you agree? And one of my favorites is the Peanut Butter kind.

This is really a purist kinda choice. It’s been a mainstay at Disney Parks forever, and many guests love it so much that they opt to take some home as a (short-lived) souvenir. (Really…does it even survive the trip home without being eaten? Tell the truth.)

Peanut Butter Fudge

If you like peanut butter in your fudge but prefer something a littler jazzier, check out the Reese’s Pieces Fudge the next time you’re in the parks around the Fall holidays. Swirls of chocolate and peanut butter fudge make a gorgeous backdrop to the seasonally-colored candies.

Selma’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

Especially if we’re talking about one of my favorite varieties: Selma’s Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie. The giant peanut butter cookies are soft and filled with chocolate chunks, which means that you get both flavors in nearly every bite.

Selmas Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie — One of Our Favorites!

These are a Disney guest favorite, and you can definitely see why.

Need More Peanut Butter?

It’s clear from the number of yummo peanut butter treats that I am not the only fan out there! We’ve only just scratched the surface with these options. Believe me, I could go on. Here are a few of my “runners up!”

Whichever one (or seven) that you decide to try, I’m pretty sure you peanut butter lovers out there will find something PB to rave about during your next Disney trip. And if you find something I’ve missed, please! Share!

Comments

OK…I admit it. I’ve been watching from the sidelines for quite a while, but have found the need to take the plunge and write my first comment!

I am dying to try the Peanut Butter Heaven! My hubby and I are taking my peanut butter addicted 2 year old to Disneyland next week and this would be “Heaven” for her! Any chance you can tell me where to find these?

Peanut butter and chocolate is my all-time favorite combination. And as such, I am happy to report that the King Cupcake was alive and well at Pop 6 days ago when I last enjoyed one. Hopefully that hasn’t changed since then!

AJ, you’ve really outdone yourself with this post! As if my mouth doesn’t water enough every morning when I read your blog, this has gone above and beyond! I’m glad to say I’ve had a couple of these treats (selma’s cookie, pb brownie sandwich), and I’m looking forward to trying many more on my upcoming trip. Also I think a petition needs to be started that brings that peanut butter sandwich over to WDW from Disneyland (and that peanut butter heaven, too!) – YUM!

Chocolate and peanut butter anything is my favorite so you are speaking my language with this post! Can’t wait to try as many of these as possible on our next trip :). The ones I’ve tried so far have been amazing…

Great minds think alike! A friend is going to WDW this Friday, and I was just telling her that she HAS to get the chocolate peanut butter cupcake at Starring Rolls! It is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten anywhere. And Sandy, I would happily sign that petition!

This is one of the best posts I’ve read on this blog! Peanut butter is one of my all time favorite things in the entire world… and desserts that contain it are even better! I can never leave Disneyland without getting a peanut butter sandwich… they are amazing! And now I have a few things at WDW that I need to add to my list of things to try! Thanks!

Y’know, I don’t like peanuts or peanut butter here in the UK, but after being strongarmed into trying the Trio of Valrhona Chocolate by the server at Yachtsman Steakhouse, I’ve realised that peanut butter is yet another food item that Americans do soooooo much better! Now I have to start working my way through the list!

I never bothered going into the Earl of Sandwich before, but ever since I discovered this brownie sandwich (from you) I can’t wait for my next trip to check it out!!
I also now really want a sundae. Peanut butter sauce sounds like something that should come out of the taps in heaven. It would be between that and plastic cheese. Maybe both? Just not at the same time.. that might be too weird.

Oh, AJ, you’ve outdone yourself with this wonderful article, but is there a possibility that you may not be aware of? I’ve heard that the PB&J shake at the 50’s Primetime is so good, but did you know that you can ask for it to be a Chocolate PB shake rather than Jelly if you want? *SIGH* Now I guess you’ll have to go back to WDW’s HS’s 50’s Primetime, try a Chocolate PB Shake and do another report for us (Well, someone has to do it and you do seem like the best person for the job.).

Last night I had dinner at Beaches & Cream, because of one of your post on the best Cheeseburgers at WDW. It was supreme! I was trying to remember what peanut butter dessert you had mentioned from there, and I went with the Grilled Banana Bread & Peanut Butter…I don’t believe it was mentioned in this post but OH MY WORD, this thing was incredible!
